The Robert Klaas® factory in Soligen, Germany has been in the same family since1834. Federick Robert Klaas originally began the company to manufacture scissors and then inherited his father-in-law's pen knife company. For over eight generations, the family has produced high quality handcrafted cutlery products and still take pride in their craft today. Hallmark cutlery® is honored to continue the Robert Klass legacy.
